Our Approach

Our Approach

UNSW Canberra Space supplements its existing strengths and personnel with new expertise to establish the critical engineering and scientific activities through which regular in-orbit space research capability can be created and continued.

However, there is no intention to reinvent the wheel - COTS cubesats and ground-station systems and cubesat launch service providers all form inputs to UNSW Canberra's effort.

In parallel, and in collaboration with strategic partners where advantageous, we are:

assembling the talent pool

performing the engineering required to put cubesats into orbit, as an enabling capability

developing the science, the instrumentation and the formation flying technology for those cubesats, to enable in-orbit research of national significance to be performed within a six year time frame
